Being a fairtrade town the steering group are proud to promote and spread the word that Fairtrade saves lives. We explore ways of raising the profile of Fairtrade and provide information at a variety of public events. Can you spare a few hours every couple of months to meet the team and plan possible actions? No special skills are necessary to join the group, just enthusiasm. We would love to recruit new volunteers to help take part in local events and chat to the general public. If you would prefer to work more behind the scenes we always welcome help with our Facebook page and designing posters and flyers.
